Ransomware recovery

Ransomware is a form of cryptovirology extortion, in which your data is encrypted and the attacker demands payment to restore access to that data. Ransomware Recovery allows an organization administrator to recover workspaces infected by malicious software. Workspace files are reverted to a point in time prior to the ransomware infection.
You cannot recover workspaces for deleted users.
